Inspirational thought of the week:

When I am down and, oh my soul, so tired

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence

Up until You come and sit some time with me.You raise me up, so

Florida State corner Chris Hope, University of St. Thomas running back Hope Adebayo, Bob Hope’s All-America Team and Steve Harvey, here’s the post-Week 3 Bottom 10 rankings.< img alt=" "src=" https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/ncaa/500/2309.png&h=60&w=60"

width =”30″/ > We spoke with a lot of upset devoted topics of the State of Kent recently that we believed we were at a Renaissance Faire. Were they throwing tomatoes and casting witches ‘spells our way since their precious brethren remained in the Bottom 10? Nay! They were hotter than a, well, Golden Flash, because last week they were– in the words of a Twitter/X user who I think was named @YesJackLambertActuallyPlayedHere– “What do have to do to show to you idiots that we are the worst team in football?”Turns out, tracking Tennessee 65-0 at the half sufficed to do the trick. The Owls had actually already made their FBS road launching and their FBS home debut, so when they traveled to San Jose State to lose 31-10, it was their”Hey, SJSU, here’s a copy of our résumé, please take it with you when you have your meeting to try sign up with the new

Pac-12 and yes we simulated Elle Woods and made it pink and scented to give it a little something additional”launching. The Zips followed up their two-week Big 10 check collection tour with a check out from Colgate. Akron won however failed to cover versus a team that was 0-2 and chose to end up 4th in the six-team Patriot League. Likewise, if you set cash against the spread in the Akron-Colgate game, you may wish to discover a different pastime. Speaking of payouts, Akron now travels to Williams-Brice Arena to deal with South Carolina.Editor’s Picks 1 Associated

The Minors asked for Liberty but were provided death by a 28-10 score. UTEP opens the season with three of its first 4 games on the road, followed by a bye week and then lastly playing a 2nd home game on Oct. 3, aka Week 6. By then they will have been gone so long the Sun Bowl will be become a Spirit Halloween.

After all those years that the UW Huskies made their Thanksgiving living out of taking the Apple Cup from the preferred hands of Washington State, now they played the game in September as a brand-new nonconference game and did so at the end of the exact same week that Wazzu assisted manage the Gravedigger-like resurrection of the Pac-Whatever of which Washington was a member like 10 minutes back. Hey, Huskies, if you’re good, possibly they’ll let you return. No? You’re good? Cool cool cool. We’ll examine back in mid-November after your trips to Piscataway, Iowa City, Bloomington and State College. Then again, maybe you’ll like having more frequent flyer miles than George Clooney in “Up in the Air.”

When once again, Temple has to settle for being our second-highest-flying parliament of Strigiformes, forced to cruise in the broken wind that trails Kennesaw in the race for Bottom 10 Owl air supremacy. Now they host Bottom 10 watch list members Utah State Not Utah, aka the Other Aggies. Mentioning Aggies … Last week we joked that the L-obos should call their Land of Enchantment mortal opponents for the cheat code on Auburn, seeing as how the Other Aggies( another )had beaten Hugh Freeze the last two years in a row. Maybe they did. Because Whew Mexico had Snore Eagle on the ropes for a while, tracking only 17-13 at the half. Then they were outscored 28-6 in the second half. Perhaps New Mexico State sent them the “How to Beat Hugh Freeze” playbook tablet, but purposely just charged the iPad midway so it would go dead at halftime. The Minuetmen do not join the MAC up until next year but opened the season with 3 straight #MACtion opponents and lost all three. This weekend they lastly get back to being their real Lexington Green independent selves when they deal with Central Connecticut. But … wait a feathered-tricorn hat here … the next 2 games they take a trip to play My Hammy of Ohio and the Fighting Irish Stompers of Northern Illinois? However they still aren’t really in the MAC? This resembles that Leo DiCaprio movie where he convinces everybody he’s in fact a physician, a lawyer and an airline pilot just by appearing at a healthcare facility, courtroom and airport and saying that he was a physician, attorney and airline company pilot.

Fortunately? Charlotte finally won a football game. The bad news? They beat the FCS Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs by one point and needed to return from 17-down in the second half to do it. Calling this a win is like burning all the cupcakes in the pan but one.

Remember when those in FSU circles indicated the fact that Cal was joining the ACC as a sure-fire sign that the conference was on its last legs due to the fact that Cal was so generic at football and Cal was not worthy of being in the same conference with mighty Florida By God State. This weekend the 3-0 Bears deal with the 0-3 Noles, the very same Noles who at last check were favored by an enormous 2 points over the little ol’ hippie sanctuary school out of Berkeley. At home. With a lineup that might have 16 NFL draft choices. That’s how you finish from the Coveted Fifth Area to the actual Bottom 10. We look forward to hearing from FSU’s legal representatives. Everyone else has. Possibly they can sue all of us out of needing to see the Sunlight Face-off with Florida at the end of the season.Waiting list: Flori-duh, Surviving On Tulsa Time, Southern Missed, UCan’t, Muddled Tennessee State, Not The Jacksonville You Believe It Is State, “Why, oming?”, more tumbling.
